I saw the Great Wave at the Seattle Art Museum almost a year ago. What an amazing image. And all the other wood prints they had on display as well. So beautiful
very nice..! yes, some prices, have commanded new heights at intl auctions! fortunately of these, still exists nice quality reprints and not cheap at all....thanks for sharing!!
Early ukiyo-e prints trade for much higher prices - Moronobu, Kaigetsudo, Harunobu - but rarely seen at auction. Funny thing is that Great Wave. A better impression was bought recently by the British Museum in a Swiss? public auction, $130K incl BP.
I have a series of shiraku by Adachi It's a volume set of I think 40 prints It's the first volume that he made I have number 4 of 300 He stopped making these because of the war My Relative was A college professor and traveled to Japan and actually verified ancient artifacts for for Organizations When in Japan he Purchased several wood block prints besides this From I believe called Adachi studios I'm very interested in finding that value I was gonna go to the museum around here but I think I'mGoing to try andSell themThen I'm gonna be very careful I'm not gonna let myself get burnt
I have 3 woodblock paints over 160 year old, how can I value them. Do u have an email? I can send the pictures. Appreciate some direction on how to valuate them. There has been in my home for some ver 60 years my great grandfather brought them from Japan’s in 1930
Yes, I'm always happy to review woodblocks. You can email at info@miegallery.com. Try to take photos of the whole print and the back of the print if possible. If it's in a frame you don't have to bother with a photo of the back.

most impressive is the fact that you had a hokusai on your wall as a teenager - respect!
Thanks I also had an Utamaro poster. I was an art geek (still am).
Nerd
That whale print was impressive

Very interesting. Definitely do your research. Check the auction websites like Invaluable, Artelino, and others for previous sales. Good luck!

What does it mean if it says Christie’s images on it?
Probably that I screenshotted the image from the Christie's auction website.
Hokusai was 70 at that time
hokusai was vorn 1860 not 1870
Born in 1760.
